It was closed and apparently has been for a couple of weeks. Disappointing that Open Table didn’t know that. Had to give a bad review since we didn’t get to eat there

After making reservations in advance via the link on their website and driving almost an hour we arrived to find Chocolate Lab closed. A neighboring merchant informed us they closed about 3 weeks ago and have not been seen or heard from since. While I am sorry they were unable to stay in business, the least they could do is remove their reservation link and update their website.

They didn’t even open. There was no sign or anything. Not sure why they’d take reservations?

This a great restaurant tucked into a quiet neighborhood. It’s fun to watch local children come in to buy a treat from the candy case. And it’s worth getting something for yourself from the candy case. The food is creative and every item has chocolate in it. The appetizer and entree items are savory, very savory. The menu is small and diverse, from short ribs to impossible meatloaf. If you like French onion soup, it is rich and savory with dark chocolate. The dessert menu appears to be what you would expect from a chocolate-themed restaurant but takes standards like brownies and makes them memorable. The bar is very pretty and the bartender has mixed drinks and cocktails that are eye-catching and uniquely delicious. The service is friendly and prompt and caring. Tell them if you have dietary restrictions and the chef will work to accommodate you. Cheers!
